Squirming Keir Starmer refuses SEVEN times to deny taking drugs as he’s grilled on The Sun’s brilliant new show
SQUIRMING Sir Keir Starmer refused to deny taking drugs SEVEN times in a grilling by The Sun’s Harry Cole.
On the premier episode of the new Sun Politics show Never Mind The Ballots, the Labour chief was asked if he’s taken illegal substances while a jobbing lawyer.
Sir Keir responded: “I had a good time when I was a student.”
Pressed on what exactly that means, the opposition leader replied: “It means I had a good time when I was a student.”
In a wide-ranging interview, Keir also:
- Vowed to protect Britain’s hardest workers from tax rises
- Refused to commit to the triple pensions lock for five years
- Insisted we ‘can’t go back’ on Brexit but wants a ‘better deal’
- Revealed he was paid to defend terrorists including Hizb ut-Tahrir
- Squirmed as he answered Sun readers’ quickfire questions
- Blasted Boris Johnson for ‘smearing’ him over Jimmy Savile case
- Condemned Tories’ Rwanda plan as an ‘expensive gimmick’
Harry gave the man who could be Britain’s next PM another crack at the whip.
But Sir Keir simply added: “I had a good time when a student and whichever way you put this Harry…. I am not going down that route.”
The opposition chief studied law at Leeds, where he also became a member of the university’s Labour Club.
Sir Keir graduated with first class honours and continued on to do a post-grad at Oxford.

In the no holds barred interview Sir Keir also refused to answer how many women he’s slept with.
And he wouldn’t reveal the worst date he’s ever been on.
But the vegetarian Labour leader did reveal his go-to curry order… a chana masala.
